Offices for EU, EEA and Swiss citizen registration in Spain

Choose your province and book the matching appointment

The certificate is issued in person by the police, either at a foreigners’ brigade or at a police station that handles ID documents. Make sure your appointment names the right office, because a general residence appointment does not always cover EU registration. How visitors are received, and what you are asked to bring, depends on the office.

29 offices
  • A Coruña

    Jefatura Superior de Policía de Galicia

    Avda. do Porto da Coruña n.º 5-7, A Coruña

    Book the EU citizen registration option online, not the fingerprint or number-only ones.

    Prepare signed EX-18, valid passport or national identity card and copies, and proof of payment of the appropriate 790-012 certificate fee. For expired identification, follow the stated requirement for its copy and proof of a renewal application. Bring evidence of employment/self-employment, or resources and health cover; students also need enrolment and a resources declaration or equivalent proof. Family cases require applicable relationship/dependency evidence. Resources are assessed for personal circumstances, not one universal fixed amount. The fee for the EU resident registration certificate is €12. Select the certificate item on model 790 code 012 and verify the amount before paying; the separate NIE-assignment item is a different request.

  • Alicante

    Brigada Provincial de Extranjería y Fronteras de Alicante (3)

    C/ Ebanistería n.º 6, Alicante

    Phone the police first to confirm the right appointment, and do not assume a general residence one covers it.

    Prepare form EX-18, a valid passport or national identity document, proof of payment using model 790 code 012 and evidence of your qualifying residence circumstances. Ask for the checklist applicable to your case. The police fee for the EU resident registration certificate is €12; select that concept rather than the separate NIE-assignment fee. Immediate issuance described nationally depends on meeting the requirements; it does not guarantee immediate appointment availability. If your passport or national identity card has expired, the police procedure requires a copy of that document together with the application to renew it. Confirm with the office how to present this evidence; an expired document alone is not sufficient.
